RECORDING WHALES IN 3D – Take my word for it. Don't try to build a PVC pipe frame, attach 8 hydrophones to it, and then sink it down 100 ft. It is almost impossible. But I made what are (probably) the world's first 3D recordings of humpback whales. Listen here: thomasrexbeverly.com/products/haw...

"I believe if you want to go with far, mid and close perspective, you need a really big foley stage because otherwise you cannot get around the early reflections and therefore it does not make sense." Episode 15 - Bastian Gerner

The power of raw Foley! Mikel Parraga-Wills (Ep. 26) talks Oppenheimer's bomb scene: the silence filled only by dirty, realistic goggles & breathing sounds. A rewarding moment for the sound team! ✨ #Oppenheimer #FilmSound #FoleyArtist #Podcast

"I locked myself in a closet surrounded by clothing... a half decent acoustic dampener so that I could record stuff."- Jason Smith, Ep. 16

[On future goals] "I definitely want to travel a lot more to... find the remaining pockets of silence that we still have." - @bolttracks.bsky.social, Ep. 12 #FieldRecording #Conservation #Silence

On daily creative practice: "Create a little bit every day without hope and without despair." - Nathan Moody, Field & Foley Ep. 6

Why are we still calling it "human resources"?

I've thought about this term so often and it makes me angry. Humans as resources to buy up in bulk or – as we see so often in game development – to get rid of when the shareholders demand the line goes up.

We spent a whole day tracking lions and when we found them, we decided to stick around so we could record their calls. Somehow we picked the laziest ones around, because they slept a lot, yawned and stretched but did not make one sound until nightfall. When they finally did roar, it was magnificent

Happy 90th birthday Dame Julie Andrews!

"The final solution [to Shinsekai’s sound] was simply hybrid, a mixture between hydrophone and SM57 sound." - Ken Usami, Ep. 42 #SoundDesign #GameAudio #Foley #ProblemSolving

An illustration decorated with smiling pansies and leaves that says "Trans rights are human rights. We will love and protect each other "

Everything is really scary and chaotic for Trans individuals right now. Regardless of whatever lies and fear that is spread, we know that the world is better with Trans people in it. You are all worth fighting for, and we will continue to advocate for your rights and your safety.
